Francisco Emigdio

Francisco began his business after working for several companies. He found that the schedules that these firms demanded were so time consuming that they didn't allow him to do anything outside of work. Instead, Francisco decided to start his own business, and one that would allow time for him to study and spend time with his family. He began in 1998 when a friend invited him to work selling water coolers. Later Francisco decided to start an independent business, which was very successful. He was able to buy his own truck to distribute the jugs of water to individual homes.

Francisco needs a loan of $800, which he'll pay back in 6 months. He'll use the loan to buy jugs of water so that he can expand his route. The weather has been very warm and people have been consuming more water than usual.
